Racey McMath

Kyle Philips suffered an MCL injury in Saturday’s preseason win over Minnesota, per paulkuharsky.com, an injury that will reportedly keep him out “in the range of six weeks.”

If he wound up missing six weeks, according to the story, Philips would likely miss at least the first three games of the season, probably four. Philips burst on to the scene in Week 1 last year but then faded and played in only four games. Philips was slated to be the team's WR3 this season so this injury likely sets him back. Next up are Moore, Westbrook-Ikhine and McMath.

The story went on to say, the Titans will likely have to use two of their initial 53-man roster spots on injured receivers — Burks and Philips. And if the team needs to keep two healthy receivers as a result, that means two players at other positions will not survive the Aug. 29 final cut.
